I have been coming to Bar Sin Nombre for years. The owner is the nicest guy you will ever meet. Here are five things I would say I can always count on no matter what day of the week it is: 1. Friendly service. 2. Great number & variety of quality beers on tap. 3. Great music playing. 4. A relaxed atmosphere. 5. Sports on the TV. There are few places on Third Ave that offer this kind of experience. You can play Super Nintendo games, watch the game, or just enjoy being able to have a conversation with your friends while sipping on a cold beer. They have micheladas and wine too. Tip: Grab some Mexican food from Don Pedro's taco shop next door and enjoy it with your beer. read more

lots of minors but Good craft Beers on tap. Great place to watch games. Wish there was not so many underage drinkers. seems like they go unnoticed. read more

What an awesome bar to go to on third ave. I've came here quite a few times with friends on a night out and we have enjoyed our time here each time. The Bartenders do a great job at managing a huge crowd. They have great beers and other alcohol drinks. The inside is a little small, but they have a patio to sit at too. There are old style games inside if you want to play with friends. They don't have many options for shots, so we drink their house tequila and that is actually pretty decent. Overall it's an awesome spot to hangout with friends and just have a good time. read more

Really nice people working here. I brought my dog and didn't know they were not allowed. A nice girl working told me in the nicest way and offered to open up the window so I could sit outside with my dog and still be able to talk with my friends. Good beer. Nice staff. read more

Very chill bar with greatly priced drinks! They unfortunately do not play a lot of Latin music despite the name and I wouldn't recommend their micheladas if you like a strong beer taste but if you love lime, you'll love this one. However, if you're looking for some cheap drinks with sports playing and old school Mario Bros games available, this is a great place! read more

I'm sad to write a review like this, but this used to be my favorite spot for quite a while. However, it definitely feels like they have gone downhill in the last year. I'm not exactly sure why but for some reason the last few times that I've come in. They don't have a lot of variety of drinks. The service is always amazing however as the owner is almost always there and he is just a great guy. The music there is always great and it's just always a vibe. I usually love getting the Paloma's there because they make them to perfect perfection. I also love that they are restrooms are always clean and accessible not to mention how spacious they are. I love that they have outside seating and indoor seating, including little TVs to play games. I still recommend coming here and supporting this bar. I'm just keeping it real, but I really hope that they improve their variety. read more

Great spot in Chula!!! Drop by to see their beer menu which does not disappoint, with lots of IPA and Hazys to pick from. They also have a pretty good michelada mix if you're in the mood for one. Plenty of high stools seating inside, with a couple of tables. Service is always great as well!! read more

Went here with a gal pal of mine on a whim at night, the place is a decent size with good amount of seating. More of a bar atmosphere, music was good. Bar tenders were attentive, didn't take too long to get your drink, however, the drinks are measured overpriced for not hooking it up IMO. I suppose they're following the rules set forth by the establishment and I respect that but if you're trying to get a good buzz this ain't it, or you'll be paying too dollar before you get there. Bathrooms were pretty clean which is a plus, as it is 3rd Ave parking is kinda meh. Nothing impressive, probably wouldn't make it a choice to go back though, unless a friend invites me, but if you're looking for a good place to chill and relax with friends this is ok, they also have outdoor seating so you can drink Al fresco. Just not my vibe read more

It's so hard to find sour beers on tap, which is part of the reason I was so excited to come across their menu. They have a great selection of sour beers! read more

I LOVE this place they always carry fire from some of my favorite breweries... and this new outdoor 6 distance setup is sicccc!! I like this vibe for the summer months it's pretty chillin.

Bar Sin Nombre - The tikisito cider From north park is fire !!! and my pure project double dust HAZY IPA - Beer Bar Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Great bar and amazing staff. So many options to drink and enjoy. Very chill vibes and always fun.

Very sketchy bartenders.. definitely did not expect the disrespect I received. Watch your belongings at this place .

This is a hidden gem for San Diego's beer scene. I came here on a whim when I heard they had some unique beers on tap. I'm a huge fan of pastry stouts and lambics so when I saw beers from Angry Chair and Cantillon, I was shocked. They have a great variety of beers on tap and the staff is always happy to answer questions or offer suggestions. Bonus points for the Super Nintendo setup on the side. I'll be back whenever I make the trek down to Chula Vista. This is a must stop for craft beer nerds. read more

Great place with great beer selection. They also have video game systems with Mario on two tables for people to play. Music playing is also awesome. The night i went they played Morrissey. I will definitely go back soon. read more

This is now my new favorite chill spot. The atmosphere is awesome, not too crowded, tons of selection on draft beer, and bonus, the staff, they are amazing, especially Morgan, she was awesome. Definitely will come back. They also have different food trucks and you can enjoy your beer and outside food. This place is a winner. read more

Pros: - $5 Micheladas - Attentive, friendly and genuinely nice bartender (Nick) - Patrons were all nice and friendly - Saturday night and wasn't crazy busy Cons: - None really. I can see it getting overly crowded on a busy night but that wasn't the case so this doesn't really count as anything. Where did all these microbreweries come from?! I'm loving the quantity, quality and availability! If you stay long enough to try every beer on the menu, there is another place to walk to that has beers you've not tried before. It was great and will likely come here instead of the Gaslamp. The Gaslamp has become what the strip in Las Vegas has become for me, the place you only go to if you have family in town to play tour guide. I'd probably come here for a middle of the week drink, HH or even a Saturday night, which we did. It's just CHILL. My niece and her hubby came out to hang and we first started off at Thr3e Punks and wound up over here afterwards. We happen to snag 3 seats at the bar and turned out to be the best seats in the house bc we were able to watch the crazy number of Micheladas that were being made throughout the night and I literally did not move from this spot except to empty my bladder to make more room for more Micheladas. I walked in to this place excited to try their in-house beers but ended up swimming in Micheladas bc they're that GOOD and you can't beat the price. The rim has tajin and I'm pretty sure it's the 32 oz mug that goes for $5. So. Good. I mean, if you don't like Micheladas, any tomato drinks or even tajin, you won't like it but I do :) Our bartender, Nick, was the nicest guy. Chatted it up w/ us but still tending to other patrons. One weird thing that I noticed was that they store kegs in the restrooms. I hope they're just "decoration" bc that's weird. Def be back. read more

Friday night, only a couple people in, ALL TVs set to the Padres game....and the individual working was unwilling to turn even one tv to a hockey playoff game. Mind you, no one appeared to be actively watching the game besides perhaps the person working. Won't be back. read more

This place has the best beers on 3rd ave. I highly recommend! No music but the beer makes up for it

Michelada!!! $5 Yes!! If you're tired of too spicy, too tomato-y, or just whatever is wrong with the micheladas you have had give this place a chance. The michelada has a tajin rim and a simple taste. They use a different beer, hamms, and it brings a different taste that everyone needs to try out. The atmosphere is usually really calm and the music is loud enough to fill the room but not over whelming. There is bar seating and two giant tables for bigger parties. I love the big open windows that also have seating which is great to watch the world go by or at least the people. There are four large televisions that are usually playing different shows, games, or Netflix. Also the two giant tables have old school video games! So bring your A game with your friends, family, or the stranger next to you. This place has awesome happy hours and events. Monday $4 michelada of course Sunday is live music at 4 Tuesday is trivia at 7 Wednesday is live music by Escalera at 7:30 Corazon de torts when they can make it Love this place. read more

Would give zero if I could asked the beer tender what hazy was on tap and he simply pointed to the tap list very far away that no one with clear vision could read. Skipped my order moved onto the next guest. Asked for his name said I'm not giving it to you. As I walked out beer tender pointed at his eyes with aggressive fashion. Not the best look you guys, you are beer caterer not crafters get your employees in line before it gets out of hand. read more

Always an interesting selection of beers here. I'd say vibe is a bit of a mix between a dive bar and a brewery. They've definitely put in the effort to make it unique. I'd appreciate more food options or maybe just having food vendors more regularly, but overall a great spot. I also appreciate it being dog friendly. read more

We popped into Bar Sin Nombre and although the selection was pretty expansive, there was an odor that I could not get passed. The bartender was generous with their time talking with us about their selection, but the beer was only moderately cold, and the glass itself had a funky taste - not sure if the smells over took my taste or if it was the water that was used to clean the glass, but it was gross. I drank about 1/3 of my beer and left. 1 star because the bartender was nice, and the other star for the selection. I see others have complained about the smell - not sure what it is. read more

I have been coming here for the past couple of months, Erick and Javi have been so friendly, and are some of their very welcoming and chill bartenders. When available the pizza they offer is pretty awesome. Also a good bar for a little daytime book reading. read more

Horrible service, boring/dirty atmosphere. Wanted to hurry up and finish my drink so I could leave, but there was a UF(loating)O so I didn't bother. Gross. read more

Sunday afternoon i stroll by for a drink and Thomas made the most amazing michelada I've ever had in my life lol as a Mexican man who has traveled all over Mexico and tried all types of micheladas I was very pleased to have the perfect michelada here at bar sin nombre and highly recommend this drink. read more

Went 15 minutes before closing seeing if they did last call, the short answer is NO. The bartender seemed super under the influence because he poured us our beers, saw us take a sip and then ID-ed. Then we sat at a small table and he followed us and ID-ed US AGAIN. NEVER coming back. read more

Overall, no breweries or bars really stand out on third Avenue for me except this one. The amount of beers they have on tap is wild and amazing. I love sours and they had around 10 when I came in which had me starry eyed. There's a small amount of seating inside but tons outside. We had someone set up a heater for us without asking which was super nice and thoughtful because it was clear I was cold. I had a rose sour and then a blackberry cider that were both delicious. There's something here for everyone, I saw some wine bottles also and cans so this is definitely a great spot that stays open late too. read more

I absolutely love this place. They have an amazing tap list that is always changing. A diversity of beer styles ensures that everyone in your party will have something to enjoy. They also have a solid wine list, which I appreciate. Friendly/fun vibes. The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations. Melissa does a great job behind the bar on Fri/Sat. There is no sign on the front but you can't miss it. I've also never had an issue with parking. If you haven't been to BSN yet it's definitely worth the trip! read more

It's a shame that this place is all the way in Chula Vista, because if it were closer to my neighborhood I would make a point to go there more often. Regardless, for those of you spoiled enough to live nearby, this should become a regular fixture of your going out routine. Rarely do beer bars have such an extensive list that includes more familiar beers as well as rare finds, and even more rarely are there beers I haven't heard of (this is not a subtle brag). They've got old school video games. As advertised, the bar does not have a name or any signage out front. They've got a variety of merch available. They had a live DJ spinning some vinyl. read more

I guess I finally understand why this place has no name... cause it is the place with no name.... got it! Pros? Lots of options Coffee on tap Beers on tap from all over Tons of wines Game boys at the tables Lots of open air Cons? A bit on the pricier side Often overcrowded Not a ton of comfortable seating read more

Great music, great atmosphere, great eat, this place is great! Very big beer selection. They have old school video games and it's cool. read more

This place totally rocks and is a nice touch for the 3rd Ave District! We trek down from North Park for their beer selection and there is always something awesome pouring. It is a must for the true beer geek and they definitely support the local SD craft scene. It is a clean place and not pretentious with basic decor and non-arrogant beertenders you often get stuck with. They do have old school video games and the crowd can vary quite a bit. We also dig the apparel and bought a hoodie. :) read more

Horrible service you know that they unhappy to help you... rude bartender ...I was only customer front of the bar and she not even Said " Hi" this is the only place I haven't been cuz I'm live on the neighborhood ind I decided to stop today .. BAD DECISION...ass soon as I finish my beer I left .. NO GOOD VIBES read more

The people and the vibe are great! Huge selection of beer. I love hanging out on Wednesday night while there is live music. read more

Bar Sin Nombre is awesome. Yes it's usually a pretty good beer selection though not as much variety as someone who's not into hoppy beer would like, I'd imagine. They tend to lean more on hazies and sours, and less toward lagers/wheats and stouts. Also just a heads up the place is usually pretty cold inside, lot of marble and cement. Which will actually be nice during the summer. It's loud in here almost constantly which is no fault to their own. They've usually got music up loud and a lot of people talking. It's a good vibe imo. Also it's right across from Don Pedro's, come on. They could do to be better staffed, though. Went for a beer last night and it was one person behind the bar with about 12 people waiting in line for their order. Eventually someone came in to help out the lone bartender but as someone who's worked in the service industry for a long time it makes me mad to see yet another place leave their employees out to dry like that. Anyway just make sure you come in if you're looking for a good San Diego pint. Their selection is from all around the county and then some. And the NES classic and Super NES classic they have hooked up to some TV's are fun. read more
